So of course I just had to go back. It's just too  beautiful a bird not to visit.
I'm planning one last trip out there this week. 3rd time's the charm right?

I'd like to thank Moira for helping me with this first shot. :D
I really need to get photoshop. :wink:

yes you took a really good shot of GG in flight :)
i was there last weekend as well and managed to take some shots too.
i ve never seen a bird, wild bird that would cooperate so well while taking pictures.
i met people from Toronto as well as US. Many people drove for hours to see it.
amazing.

A birth certificate shows we were born.  A death certificate shows we died.  Pictures show we live.
